I've had a chance to peruse the Diner Blog this weekend. I very much like the
subject matter, and it is nice to be able to click on the images to get them
large on the monitor. My only suggestion (and this is very minor and pretty

Yes, it is tricky. The trickiest part is not everyone sees what I
see! That makes adjustments and corrections quite difficult.
Thanks again for you comments and suggestions.

Dan,
I think what is happening is you have your email set to wrap outgoing
text at a specific line length. When you email your text to your blog,
Posterous just accepts that default line length and confines the text to
whatever line length your email is set to.
No matter what size window the

There aren't many banjos in Southern Louisiana, not in the sense you
are thinking of. That's Dixieland, Jazz and Zydeco country.

South of New Orleans, human rights tend to be optional. The refineries don't
want any negative publicity, and since the sheriff is an elected position, they
do whatever the refineries ask.

I did not see a camera store there. I just missed the trolley back,
so I wandered around a bit, and I' sure I would have noticed a camera
store.

That is the only photography shop left in New Orleans (the city of) since the

The Camilla Grill was open two years ago when I was down there with my

Camillia Grill is famous for their waffles as well as a hamburger with raw meat
in it (the cannibal). You hit the nail on the head regarding its appearance. It
had closed after Katrina (when we were having to pay $15/hour for dishwashers
down here), but I think it's up and running again.

Thanks, Jeffery.
Are you familiar with the Camillia in New Orleans? From the outside
it looks like a miniature southern plantation house. Inside, its pure
Jersey diner. It is a well-know institution there, from what I hear.

Thanks for your comments, Rob.
It is more difficult to get good inside images. Some diner managers
don't permit inside photos, and it can make some customers
uncomfortable. So, one must find a friendly place and a time where it
is not crowded with people. I even ran into one owner who didn't wa

There is an 80-mile stretch of old highway between New Orleans and Baton Rouge
that is called Airline Highway. Your photos really remind me of the diners that
dotted that pre-freeway stretch of highway, sort of like a shorter Route-66.

Thanks, Sasha.
I use Posterous, which is an easy and simple blog. I just send the
text and attachments by email, and they imput it into their standard
format. Because of this, I don't have a lot of control over the blog
set-up.
A number of others have looked at the blog and commented to me, but
I love the content. Both words and pictures.
I agree with Sasha on the fixed width. One whole point of html is
allowing it to format to the current page on whatever size monitor is
being used.

I use a fairly large monitor and the blog text has fixed width.
So I have a stripe of text and pictures somewhere in the middle of my

Thanks for looking and thanks for your comments, Sasha!
Your comment on the appearance of the blog puzzles me. I don't see
any such line on my monitor, nor do I see what you refer to as
"endless gray." If it is on your monitor, it must be on others as
well. Since I don't see it, it is hard for
xt to tell that part of the diner story.
I think you have a fun project here--keep going!!! Cheers, Christine

Hi Daniel,
some nice stuff there.
One thing: the blog looks clumsy on my monitor - a thin stripe in the

may be it would be nice to have more inside/outside pairs?
